We had 18 new articles created or improved!!! It really was more fun than the photo shows ;-)
Who should come? You should. Really.
The Fine Art Edit-a-Thon and GLAM-WIKI Meetup will be held on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at the
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (DCPL) at the
Library Lab. The edit-a-thon will be followed by a Meetup!
The Fine Art Edit-a-Thon will be an opportunity to encourage Wikipedians of all experience levels to work together and independently to document artists and artwork related to the
Federal Art Project, specifically subjects related to the
Archives of American Art's recent
image contribution on Commons.
Resources from the MLK Library will be utilized as well as online resources.
You don't have to be a Wikipedian to help crop and clean up images for use in articles!
Contribute to existing articles or write new articles in whatever language.
Help your fellow contributors out - lend a hand when needed and help out new editors!
Even if you don't feel like writing about art, we welcome you to come.
This will be a great chance to bring a friend and share with them your love for editing. Wikipedians of all experience levels welcome.
Meetup
After the Fine Art Edit-a-Thon a Meetup will be held at the
Irish Channel Pub located just a few blocks away from the library in the
Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Attendees to the Meetup do not have to attend the Edit-a-Thon!

Not this time, thanks, flying to Florida on that Sunday and will need to pack. With lots of archives in DC, hope for meetups there. Good luck.--
